Respiratory System Flashcards
nasal cavity includes
nose, nares, cavity separated by septum
pharynx
throat, cavity behind the nasal cavities and mouth
larynx
voice organ, contains the vocal chords
trachea
windpipe; tube reinforced with C-shaped rings of cartilage to prevent its collapse
bronchioles
3 Separation *Primary
*Secondary
*Tertiary
one of the subdivisions of branched bronchial tree
alveolus
where the gas exchange takes place;
- tiny sacs where gas exchange takes place
- found at the end of the terminal bronchioles
diaphram
- muscle that controls breathing
- muscular partition that separates thoracic cavity abdominal cavity
- aids in breathing
Respiratory System primary function is….
- gas exchange*
- happens in the alveolus
- provide O2 to body cells for energy metabolism
- eliminate CO2 a byproduct of metabolism
- inspiration of O2
- expiration of CO2
breathing in
inspiration
breathing out
expiration
